FLOTATION TOY WARNING - Bluffer's Guide to the Flight (2004)


[Image: 6169TMB6NZL._SL500_AA300_.jpg]





A very unique sounding band here. There are many styles of music on this CD. My first purchase this year from my Christmas gift cards and believe me it was well worth buying! The overall album is far from boring and is reminiscent of many sounds from the British music catalogue. Flotation Toy Warning reminds one of Arcade Fire(Canadian), David Bowie, The Cure, and a few BritPop bands!..I love this album! The only problem is that FTW have only released but one album ...this one and are in the midst of releasing a new one?...soon I hope!

THE SMALL FACES "greatest hits" cd,1987.

the 'greatest' band to emerge from the UK in the 1960s IMHO, love these guys better than The Beatles and certainly way better than Stones...
only The Who could match these guys for sheer power and amplified sound back in the day...
predominantly a r+b/blues rock outfit from London, but most people only remember them for their two quieter moments in 'lazy sunday' and 'itchycoo park'..
a couple of covers on here in 'if i were a carpenter'(well, actually i am?), and Tim Hardin's "red balloon", also the haunting ballad 'every little bit hurts', not sure if these guys did this first or Spencer Davis Group beat them to it back in the day...
this one didnt come out as well as i thought it would, and anyway,personally, i'd much rather hear their studio albums than a 'best of' collection anyday!
nevertheless a great time capsule of sorts of the most underrated british act from the mid/late 1960s....
as a small piece of trivia for any trivia buffs here....
vocalist Steve Marriott was approached by a certain Jimmy Page to front a band he was forming,Marriott declined the offer and Robert Plant got the gig with Led Zepplin instead, Marriott eventually left The Small Faces and formed blues rock supergroup Humblepie with a then unknown Peter Frampton on lead guitar, The small Faces then,in return, employed a relatively unknown vocalist from scotland called Rod Stewart to replace Marriott and changed their name to The Faces....

from my library (vinyl)

[Image: 41bPqxHaInL._SL500_AA300_.jpg]

This guys five minutes lasted about four too long for me. Fixin' To Die Rag was a fluke. Surprised it got as high a score as it did from me. A bunch of 70's MOR tunes here with terrible background vocals that don't even get credits. Five tunes were likable enough, but they were all a push. String section on most of them, and one (title track) with a disco feel. Joe's sixth solo album and he went on to record many more, but I don't think he warranted an additional purchase from me. He should have taken the word Country out of his name for this one. Looks like he has 33 albums, so who am I to say? He has to have had one better than this one.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Love Is A Fire

Best Track - In Love Naturally

1) It Won't Burn **
2) You're The Song *
3) In Love Naturally **
4) Oh, No **
5) Baby, Baby *
6) True Love At Last **
7) Who's Gonna Fry Your Eggs **
8) Colortone *
9) I Need You *
10) Love Is A Fire * - not as bad as the album version

I think it's one of those albums that has to be listened to all at once, Crazy. Sometimes I find it difficult to choose what songs to post.Overall I think you'd like the feel of the entire album mate!
